Repairing McKnightmare & Other PennDOT Projects
Will construction ruin your commute? PennDOT recently announced new projects in the Pittsburgh area, and the City Cast Pittsburgh team is breaking down what improvements are coming to our roads and bridges. Plus, we’ve got updates on how to get around now that the Mon Incline is closed – again.
We always cite our sources:
- PennDOT listed what construction projects are coming up and what projects are wrapping up in the Pittsburgh region.
- The Pittsburgh Union Progress reporter Ed Blazina wrote about PennDOT’s projects and what to expect from the Commercial Street Bridge replacement.
- Check out what the Commercial Street Bridge will look like once it’s completed and painted in Greenfield Green!
- Improvements are also coming to other parts of the Parkway East and McKnight Road.
- Sidewalk repairs are coming to the Hill District and Larimer.
- The Monongahela Incline’s closed again, and this time, PRT is planning for an independent review of the system.
